In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Weiyang got up from the bed at dawn.↖,
The name Weiyang was the most popular name in the Han Dynasty.
From princes to slaves at the lowest level, many people would name their sons Weiyang.
As the saying goes, "Long-term lovesickness, never forget each other, always noble and rich, happy Weiyang", the word Weiyang is not only the residence of the emperor, but also a symbol of good luck, wealth and longevity.
Now, Zhang Weiyang feels from the bottom of her heart that her name is indeed correct!
"This is my home from now on!" Zhang Weiyang looked at the cabinets, tables, farm tools and dried meat on the walls in the room, and her heart was filled with happiness.
Of course, he knew very well who gave all this.
"Thank you, brother!" Zhang Weiyang muttered to himself as he looked at his brother who was sleeping on the couch.
He knew very well that if his eldest brother hadn't served in the Huyi Army, he would never have been able to live in such a house, let alone get the land immediately.
"Erlang is awake..." Suddenly the eldest brother who was lying on the bed opened his eyes and said to Zhang Weiyang with a smile: "It's better to get up early. I'll get ready later. I'll go out with Brother Wei, and Brother Wei will take you to see him.
world!"
"No!" Zhang Weiyang nodded happily.
Zhang Weiyang knew nothing about everything here in Xinhua City and was full of curiosity and excitement.
A quarter of an hour later, the two brothers were fully dressed, washed and walked out of the room.
As soon as he left the room, Zhang Weiyang discovered that many fellow immigrants who had come with him were also led out of the room by their relatives.
"Wu Zhang!" A guard sergeant from the neighbor's house saw Zhang Weiyang's brother. After being slightly startled, he immediately ran forward and gave a military salute.
"No gift!" Zhang Weiyang looked at his brother and hit him handsomely in the chest, and asked in return: "Wang Dalang, are you also going to take your Xijun to the Yiren Village? Aren't you afraid that your Xijun will be jealous?"
The other party smiled awkwardly, and then replied: "Zhang Wu, you always have to face it... What's more, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and so much land will be divided soon, if not
With a few more people, my wife and two children alone will definitely be too busy!"
Zhang Weiyang stared blankly at her brother and nodded with a smile. She patted him on the chest and said with a smile: "Not bad!"
This made Zhang Weiyang feel that the brother in front of him seemed to have changed.
I still remember two years ago, before my elder brother was drafted into the army, the two brothers lived in a village outside Handan City and could only live in their uncle's house, enduring the scolding and contempt of the young man.
Their parents died in an accident when they were young.
The two brothers had no choice but to seek refuge with their only relative, their uncle, and work as cattle and horses in his uncle's house to obtain a meager amount of food to satisfy their hunger.
At that time, my brother's head was always lowered and he never dared to face others.
But now, the elder brother always holds his head high, his chest puffed out, and his sword eyebrows raised. He is like a hero who only appears in those stories and legends.
"Erlang, what are you thinking about?" Zhang Qi turned around. He found that his brother was a little dazed, so he couldn't help but push the other man's shoulder, smiled and hugged him and said: "Let's go, let's go!"
"Where are we going?" Zhang Weiyang asked after coming back to his senses.
"Ten miles to the north, there is a village of Yi people!" Zhang Qi said lightly. After a while, Zhang Qi added: "We protect the Yi army's paradise!" Then he looked at his brother and said seriously: "Yes.
This could be your paradise!”
"Heaven?" Zhang Weiyang was a little confused.
When he was a child, when his parents were around, for Zhang Weiyang, home was heaven.
But after his parents died unexpectedly, for Zhang Weiyang, heaven had disappeared.
It wasn't until yesterday that he found the warm, safe, comfortable paradise in his memory where he had the care and love of his relatives.
"Erlang, you're not young anymore. It's time to find a gentleman and start a family!" Zhang Qi looked at his younger brother and said seriously.
"Getting married?" Zhang Weiyang looked at his brother intently, not knowing why.
Zhang Qi hugged his younger brother and burst into laughter. While laughing, he said: "Why, you think it's incredible, don't you? But I want to tell you that marrying a fine gentleman here, in this Xinhua, is very simple.
Things!" He pointed at himself and asked his younger brother: "Erlang, do you know how many young men your brother has now?"
Zhang Qi stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of his brother: "Three!"
"Although they are both Yi people, their beauty is not as good as that of Handan women, but they are better because they are strong, have big butts, can have children, and the most important thing is to be obedient!" Zhang Qi said proudly: "On weekdays at home, being a brother is like heaven.
Everything, your three sisters-in-law live in the city. In a few days, I will take you to meet them... As for today, Erlang, you can find a woman from the village where I live, and give her to her.
You warm the bed, cook, and clean the house!"
Zhang Weiyang felt that his brain was no longer enough.
It was difficult for him to understand why his brother was so sure that he would find a good gentleman?
Zhang Weiyang knows his conditions very well.
He has no wealth and no wealth in his family. In Handan and Zhao State, it is basically impossible for a man like him to marry Xi Jun.
Miss Zhao Di's vision is very high.
The family doesn't have a hundred acres of land, and doesn't have tens of thousands of dollars in the cash box. It's impossible to marry a girl, let alone a matchmaker.
Even his uncle's only son, his cousin, who is over 20 years old, still hasn't gotten married.
But here, in my brother's mouth, this gentleman is like a weed on the roadside, and he can pick it whenever he wants?
Zhang Weiyang scratched his head, it was really difficult to adapt to such a change.
And his brother actually has three younger brothers!!!
This earth-shattering news left Zhang Weiyang speechless for a long time.
After a long time, Zhang Weiyang asked: "Brother, do you really have three sisters-in-law?"
Zhang Qi nodded proudly: "Well, yes!" Then he added: "Although she is not the official wife of Ming Media, she is just a concubine... But she is also your sister-in-law, remember. When we meet in the future, we must not lose it.
Etiquette!"
"This..." Zhang Weiyang felt unbelievable. Two years ago, his brother left him. When he went to join the army, he was so poor that he only had a patchwork of coarse linen clothes.
After two years of not seeing each other, his brother had changed so much that Zhang Weiyang couldn't believe it.
"Why don't you believe it?" Zhang Qi suppressed his smile and said seriously to his younger brother: "Raise your head and wait until we get to Yaoren's place. It's hard to get Miss Yaoren to be happy with you like this!"
"Last year, brother, I just wasn't confident enough. As a result, a beautiful girl named Yiren was snatched away by Li Dazui from Jiatun. Now, thinking about it, I really regret it!" Zhang Qi said angrily.
As the two brothers spoke, they had already reached the entrance of the village.
At the entrance of the village, dozens of cavalrymen on horseback, fully armed, were waiting for everyone.
"The captain is here. Be silent!" Zhang Qi looked at the cavalry, immediately stopped talking, and told his younger brother: "If the captain wants to lecture you later, remember, don't talk nonsense.
Listen, take it to heart. Do you understand?"
…………
Bo Shi was riding on a war horse, and behind him was Canghai Jun Nangong Xin, the leader of the Yi people, who was conferred by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Although, in terms of status, Nangong Xin was a Han vassal who was personally granted the title of Han vassal by the emperor.
But in fact, just from the flattering look on Nangong Xin's face, it can be seen that at least in Xinhua, the real master is his poor life.
"The important thing about the Han Yi family is that intermarriage in Han Yi is mainly between Yi women and Han men! Bo Aiqing, you must keep this in mind when you go to Xinhua City!" I recalled in my mind when I was bidding in Chang'an,
The emperor's persuasiveness and the smile on Bo Shi's face became even more obvious.
Since the establishment of the Huyi Army, Bo Shi has resolutely and thoroughly implemented the emperor's orders.
On the first day he took office, he issued the "Han Yi Gui Yi Order".
According to his "Han Yi Gui Yi Order", the Yi people wanted to have the power to live three hundred miles near Xinhua City and get help from the Han Dynasty, including building houses, guiding farming and using various Han tools.
Two ways.
First, to serve the Han army, at least one male in the family must join the Huyi army.
However, even if the Huyi army was strengthened by the two other Sima troops, there were only 3,000 people. Among them, the Han army had 2,400 people, leaving only 600 vacancies for the Yi people.
Although there is news that this year and next, as the imperial court plans to build a brand new fortress, Huaihua City, a thousand miles north of Xinhua City as the new frontier of the Han Dynasty, the army protecting Yi will also expand accordingly.
However, the balance left for the people is very small.
The second way is to have at least one woman in the family marry the Han army as his wife or concubine.
Nowadays, there are countless people taking this path.
Even many Yiren tribesmen who were dissatisfied with Lord Canghai fell under this decree one after another, crying and wanting to marry their daughters to the Han army.
Because, it’s a very simple truth.
First, the soldiers of the Han army were very healthy and wealthy.
At least, compared to the Yi people who still wear clothes made of fish skin and nitrate, every Han Chinese is tall, rich and handsome.
Moreover, the Hu Yijun enjoyed very good treatment.
Even the most ordinary soldier, in addition to military pay, also has a protection allowance of 300 yuan per month. In addition, from October to April, every soldier in the protection army will also enjoy an additional 100 yuan in severe winter.
subsidy.
As for material supplies, Bo Shi used his position and connections to ensure that Xinhua City would have sufficient supplies even when heavy snow closed the mountains.
Who said that Bo Shi had an aunt who was the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty?
Even, in many cases, Xinhua City's supplies are directly transferred from the Shaofu's reserves.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Yi and Di people who are thousands of miles away, the Han troops stationed in Xinhua City are simply living a more comfortable life than the chiefs of their own tribes.
They have no shortage of food and clothing all year round, but salt, a luxury product of the Yiren tribe, is in high supply in Xinhua City.
More importantly, and what is the most fatal temptation for people in Xinhua City is that Xinhua City has high walls and thick walls. Although the city is small, the houses in the city are warm even in winter. There is no need to worry that the cold winter will take away people's health.
Don't worry about your life or hunger.
Compared with the Han army, the lives of most Yi tribes, even the chiefs, were similar to beggars.
There is no need to think about what choices a charming woman will make.
Secondly, Bo Shi would like to thank his predecessor, Captain Peng, who has now been promoted back to Chang'an. It was under the leadership of Captain Peng that the Huyi Army built several demonstration villages near Xinhua City for use in
Naturalize and educate people.
After the test of last winter, the vast majority of Yi people have understood one thing: the Han people have weapons that can defeat winter. The houses they built and the heating facilities in the houses allow people to not have to worry about the cold in winter just like in summer.
.
Nowadays, in this vast black land, in the jungles and swamps, not only the Yi people, but also other Yi and Di tribes have come together one after another, and they all want to naturalize and live in houses built by the Han people.
In April, when the ground had just frozen, Xinhua City would receive over a dozen chiefs of large and small tribes kneeling to beg for help every day.
These people knelt down and begged the sacred Emperor of the Han Dynasty to grant his mercy and gifts to the poor "favors of the vassal state with China in mind".
Therefore, the "Han Yi Gui Yi Order" was actually a policy that was introduced out of necessity. Without this policy, Bo Shi would have no excuse to reject the pleas of those poor chiefs.
You must know that every Chinese will never give up the achievement of civilizing the barbarians and transforming the barbarians into summer.
However, even Bo Shi didn't expect that the effect of this 'Han Yi Gui Yi Ling' would be so good that he was amazed.
Other Yi tribes, including Cang Haijun's tribe, had no psychological pressure on marrying their daughters to the Han army.
Officers above the squadron rate of the Huyi Army became hot commodities overnight.
A certain Sima, who was relatively handsome, was even competed for by the eight daughters of the chiefs of four tribes at the same time. In the end, Bo Shi came forward and solved the case. Bo Shi's solution was to suggest that Sima marry them all.
Already...
Of course, as the highest officer of the Huyi Army, a relative of the Han Dynasty, and the cousin of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Bo Shi himself had to accept three Yiren beauties.
Even King Zhenfan and King Mahan, who were far away in North Korea, heard about it and sent him the daughters of three nobles in the country.
After asking the emperor for instructions, Bo Shi could only accept them all.
Frankly speaking, after getting along for a long time, Bo Shi feels that although these Yi and Di women are not as lovable as Chinese women in terms of upbringing, culture and personality, to be honest, they are not bad looking!
As for the soldiers and low-level officers below, they felt like they had been hit by a pie falling from the sky.
In this foreign land far away from the heart of China, women from Yihe and other tribes nourish the soldiers from China with their warm bodies and respectful attitudes.
This greatly improved the morale and combat effectiveness of the Huyi Army.
Which soldier can refuse such a good thing?
As for attracting people?
Bo Shi felt that it was really difficult for him to understand Yi Ren's thinking.
It seems that in the eyes of the Yi people, especially their upper-class nobles, after they married their daughters to the Han army, they became a real and unquestionable Han people.
In recent months, Bo Shi's father-in-laws have brought Bo Shi's brothers-in-law to visit him when they have time to discuss Han Chinese allusions and culture with Bo Shi.
Although, these guys' half-informed appearance makes people speechless.
But it's at least a good start.
Now, Bo Shi is convinced that hundreds of thousands of Yi Di within a thousand miles of Xinhua City will become Han Chinese in the next ten years.
Han people who speak Chinese, wear Han clothes, use Han rituals, serve the Han Dynasty, and pay taxes. (To be continued...)
